Searching and replacing
In this chapter you will get acquainted with all the functions that have to do with
searching and replacing text and formatting.
Searching and Replacing
You can search for terms in the text and, if required, replace them with other
terms.
For example, if a text contained several occurrences of the name “Smith”,
misspelled “Smithe”, you could direct TextMaker to replace all occurrences of
“Smithe” with “Smith”.
In addition, it is possible to search and replace formatting such as the formatting
for characters and paragraphs.
Bookmarks
Bookmarks provide another way to get quickly to specific points in the document.
You can set a bookmark at any position in the document you wish. After
giving the bookmark a name, you can use the Edit > Go to command to return
to the bookmarked position any time you wish. You can insert as many bookmarks
as you like in a document.
The Go to ... Command
The Edit > Go to command also allows you to move to specific positions in the
document according to other criteria – for example, you can move to a specific
page, a specific chapter, a specific object, etc.
Navigating documents with the sidebar
FreeOffice: This feature is not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice.
The sidebar provides an even faster way to navigate your documents. It presents
a list of all headings, bookmarks, objects, etc. at the right of the document
window. When you click on a list entry, TextMaker jumps to the corresponding
place instantaneously.
